I was born an d raised on a mixed dairy farm in North Staffordshire, England, where I lived until I married my wife Lynn in 1971. Three years previous at age 20, I commenced
employment with a local firm of auctioneers, valuers, and estate agents. During the ensuing years, I trained as a livestock auctioneer and agricultural valuer, attaining my full designation with the Central Association of Agricultural Valuers, and the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors. In 1976, I became a partner with a Cheshire auctioneering firm, and by 1980 had developed a working relationship with a company of Manitoba realtors assisting farmers interested in emigrating to Canada. In 1987, Lynn and I with our children Louise and John emigrated to Manitoba, where I joined the partnership of Century 21 West-Man Realty. Over the past 25 years, it has been my privilege and pleasure in assisting over 240 farming families in emigrating from Britain and Ireland, and resettling in Canada.

 I was brought up in the Scottish Borders on a Mixed farm, being educated at the Berwickshire High School in Duns. On leaving school, I attended Oatridge Agricultural College and obtained my NCA in agriculture, after which I returned to the family farm in 1975. The following year, my wife Carolyn and I were married, and operated the farm until 1988 when we sold up and moved to Canada with our three children and my parents. Our farm in Manitoba was strictly Grain, so in the autumn of 1988, I sat the real estate exams and have been actively involved in the sale of farms to many overseas clients since the spring of 1989, a number of whom have become close friends and acquaintances. Over the years, we have built up our farming operation in Manitoba and now have some 4,000 acres of grain land together with a cattle feedlot and around 60 suckler cows . |

Encompassing nearly half of the North American Continent,  is the second largest country in the world, and consequently enormous contrasts exist, consisting of rugged mountain chains, endless prairies, huge forests, countless lakes and rivers, pleasant summers, cold winters, busy cities and large unpopulated areas. The Trans-Canada Highway, which connects the east and west coast is just short of 4900 miles long. The distance from Halifax (on the east coast) to Vancouver (on the west coast) is greater than the distance between Halifax (Canada) to London (England).
